Taking Time and Other Science Fiction Stories @EllieMGarratt

Science fiction stories of time and space…

The future of humanity must be decided in Next Phase. Winning the Planetary Lottery is not as lucky as it first seems in Schrodinger’s Gamble. An apocalypse and its aftermath threaten to tear one couple apart in Daiker’s Children. In Life As I Know It a reclusive man finds both his heart and home invaded during an alien harvest. In Taking Time a demon seeking shelter on a distant planet finds himself facing a very different kind of demon, after answering a frontier settlement’s plea for help.

Stories range from flash fiction to novelette in length.

Celebrate the Small Things

Enjoyed Star Guiding last Friday night despite how cold it was. I find comfort sitting at the summit. I can see for hundreds of miles. I sit under a vast sky filled with stars. Both make me feel small. Both always make me feel better, comforted. In the scheme of all that, I’m barely a speck.

I’m on track for finishing Backworlds #4 by end of next week. Well the first draft. Then there’s the revision part…

I’m grateful to have helped out some friends this week. It makes me happy to make others happy.

The Tree of Life project is still ongoing through August 9th. Bet you know some of the writers participating. I added my bit on Wednesday and ended up writing about fire. Little did I know Father Dragon picked up the story from me the next day. It’s like the universe knew. Yeah, and I gave him fire.

It’s been great to see Ellie all over the blogosphere this week, love her cover so much.
I’ve somehow totally missed the Tree of Life project so I have to go check that out. You and the Dragon both?? Can’t miss that. 😀

Can NOT wait to read Ellie’s Taking Time! I’m in love with the cover–one of the best I’ve seen:)

Good luck with the revision process–almost there!

There’s a special collaborative writing project involving space and the edge of the universe going on at the hitRECord site (although I know you’re swamped–you’d be absolutely perfect for it) Maybe check it out:)

Thanks again, for participating in the Tree and lighting a “fire” for those who will follow in your footsteps:)
